4 - Matthew Copham - Introduction to photographic safaris

Matthew Copham of Safari Footprints joins me to discuss his passion which is photographic safaris. We discuss why Botswana makes such a great destination for photographers (and any traveler) and what he recommends a photographer looks for when planning a photographic safari to Botswana including recommendations of areas to visit. We chat photography through the seasons, when a first time visitor should try to visit to improve their odds of great interactions and what to do to maximise your opportunities for exciting photographs when you are here.

We also discuss when to put your camera down and the benefits of travelling with a private guide if that is an option for you.

Camps mentioned by Matt that have photographic hides are: Mashatu and Hyena Pan.
